Adrian Belew has played with some of rock’s biggest names: he did the guitar work on Talking Heads’ classic album "Remain In Light" and on offshoot group Tom Tom Club’s albums. He played on King Crimson albums ‘Discipline’, ‘Beat’ and ‘Three Of A Perfect Pair’ as well as David Bowie’s "Lodger" album, and appeared on Paul Simon’s "Graceland" single and Nine Inch Nails’ "The Downward Spiral" and "The Fragile". More recently Belew put together a solo album with Primus bassist Les Claypool and Tool drummer Danny Carey lending a hand Review of "Lone Rhino" from AMG:
“The first solo album from monster alternative guitarist Belew comes in the middle of Robert Fripp’s early-80s reformulation of King Crimson, so it’s no surprise that many a Crimson-esque herky-jerky guitar run and melody line pops up among Belew’s other trademark sound, that of the animal-turned-guitar wail.”
Review of ‘Twang Bar King’ from AMG: “Diversified and relentlessly creative – giving space to new artistic and emotional expression – this second solo album from guitarist Adrian Belew expands upon his already remarkable solo debut… Belew’s inventiveness, both as a guitarist and as a songwriter, keep this album fresh and exciting at nearly every turn.”
